how many ships would reach their
ports2 Suppose soldiers were to re.
fuse to act as guards and sentinels on
the Sabbath, OF 10 clean their arms or
to march to their battle lines, would
not the wicked prevail over the
righteous No; Chri,t himself held
thai thera were indispensable duties
which We must perform on the
Christian Sabbath rather than that q
poor as might perish. i admit that
all military men Aslert that the rule OF
one days rest in seven is not only
wise but holy, but like all general rules
mus have Exceptions which prove the
rule. Every Christian mother washes
aud dresses her children Of a Sunday
m nrning, so as to attend divine service
in their best clothes; so soldiers
are required g. wash and dress
in their best for Sunday. This is all a
Sunday morning Inspection means,
and every officer who Uommsnds q
garrison in any country will state that
soldiers are much more moral, much
better behaved, and much more dis
posed to practice Christian conduct
when so cleaned up aud SO DIRE sed
than II allowed to lounge about un-
clean Sunday morning. assure You
that your good wife has as much of |
the Sunday morning inspection OF her
children as Gen. Scho6eld has at
West Point. II your fimily comprises
about ten children, the services bear
abontthe same rela ion to the officers |
OF its garrison as your wife does TO her |
children" The general gets a little
inceherent here and there In the

ing to get at Ia the right one, and some
ulua.Sabbstarians would do we'll to
bear 1t in mind.
